Last spring, Hassan Arouni visited Beirut to explore its thriving contemporary art scene.
One year on, he returns to Lebanon to ask how the summer war and rising tensions of the past 12 months have affected the lives and work of Beirut's artists and how the city itself has been transformed. Among those he meets are artists showing at the Venice Biennale, the first time Lebanon has been represented at the international art exhibition. He looks at the controversial National Pavilion and asks what art and which artists can best represent this fractured nation. Producer Julia Adamson
